KING KABLE TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. (KING KABLE) has officially announced that its U96 series 3m HDMI 2.2 cable has passed the official HDMI Forum Ultra96 cable certification, making the brand one of the first in China to certify a 3m passive copper Ultra96 HDMI 2.2 cable, a result of the company's sustained investment in ultra-high-definition, high-speed interconnect cable development.

HDMI 2.2 is the new-generation high-definition transmission specification released by the HDMI Forum, and Ultra96 is the mandatory certification program the HDMI Association sets for 96Gbps cables — the entry requirement for unlocking the full performance of HDMI 2.2. Unlike certifications at shorter lengths, Ultra96 certification for a 3m passive copper cable is technically demanding, with strict limits on impedance control, signal integrity, eye-diagram quality and EMI radiation. HDMI certification is issued per model and per length, so a 2m certificate does not automatically cover a 3m cable; long-distance passive Ultra96 certification has long been an industry challenge.

The KING KABLE U96 series Ultra96-certified HDMI 2.2 cable natively supports the full 96Gbps bandwidth and can carry 16K video, 8K@120Hz, 4K@240Hz high-refresh images, Dynamic HDR and eARC lossless audio — all HDMI 2.2 features — for high-end home theatre, Hi-Fi audio and video, professional film and TV engineering, gaming consoles and commercial display integration. Every certified product ships with the official HDMI Ultra96 anti-counterfeiting label and verification QR code, so buyers can confirm brand, model, length and certification status in the HDMI Association's official system and identify compliant cables.

To date, KING KABLE is among the HDMI 2.2 cable brands that have publicly announced Ultra96 certification worldwide. The 3m passive copper model certified in this release fills the supply gap for long-distance Ultra96 compliant cables in the domestic high-end audio and video market; test data shows that 96Gbps transmission reaches a "Pass" eye diagram across all four 24Gbps FRL lanes, with signal integrity verified in the laboratory.

KING KABLE focuses on the development and manufacturing of high-speed interconnect cables and optical transmission solutions, covering premium product lines such as HDMI, USB4, DP and MPO fiber. This Ultra96 certification is the outcome of continuous R&D in high-speed copper signal processing, material formulation and structural design. The company will keep expanding its Ultra96 portfolio to longer lengths while advancing optical HDMI 2.2 solutions, providing complete, compliant high-speed interconnect solutions for AV integration, industrial display and broadcast engineering customers.
